I guess then we disagree. For I see OpenOffice.org as quite distinct and different from Oracle, just as it was different from Sun, and just as it differs from any one company. OOo is a community of differences and likes. > > On the other side we are many to think there is a conflict of interest > for Oracle between OpenOffice.org Community and Oracle. Hm. I am not persuaded of that at all, especially as there has been no specification—just rhetoric—on this point. > The only good > way to solve this conflict is to participate to the project through the > Document Foundation as a regular member without no more prerogatives > than other members. Again, I disagree. But I do think that we both stand to lose by engaging in fights of this nature. Or do you think our competitor's recent video and ODF / file efforts are purely coincidence? Put another way… divide/conquer.
